his, hijō, hita

his dem.adj. this, to-. [Pgmc hiz < IE kis]

This tricky little demonstrative adjective in gothic is not well attested, though it seems to have taken the same connotation we give to the word “to” in compounds like “tonight, “tomorrow,” or “today.” Etymologically, this is the same word as the third person singular and plural pronouns, but both germanic and indoeuropean had an “optional” prefix of h- (indoeuropean k-) which were not preserved in gothic with the exception of this demonstrative function.
